Team Uganda's run at the ongoing Africa Mixed Badminton Championships ended on Wednesday afternoon in Johannesburg, South Africa, after a defeat at the hands of Egypt.
Uganda lost 4-2 to the Egyptians in the women's and men's singles and the women's doubles but registered victories in the mixed and men's doubles.
Brian Kasirye, Uganda's top seed, partnered with Fadilah Shamika Mohammed Rafi to defeat Adham Hatem and Elgamal Doha Hany in straight sets 14-21, 16-21.
But after that, Team Uganda's performance went downhill, starting with the Women's singles which saw Husina Kobugabe lose to Nour Ahmed Youssri in straight sets 21-15, 21-16.
Brian Kasriye's fight in the men's singles wasn't enough; despite winning the second set, he lost 21-19, 8-21, 21-19 in three sets.
The Women's doubles were Uganda's last opportunity to revive themselves. Still, Husina Kobugabe and Fadilah Shamika Mohammed Rafi fell short, losing in straight sets 21-15, 21-18 to Nour Ahmed Youssri and Doha Hany.
The loss means Uganda is eliminated from the team competitions but will still compete in the Individual games.
